The Isle of Eigg – trying to be that little bit greener, step by step.

Eigg’s 1st Conservation Working Holiday!

Do you fancy a week tree planting on the Isle of Eigg from 10th – 17th of February 2014?

You would be spending the week assisting the Isle of Eigg Heritage Trust replanting trees in our forestry, mainly fast growing trees of mixed species for future firewood.

By signing up for a Conservation Holiday you will spend the week working amidst the fresh sea air, live, eat and work with like-minded people, learn about conservation management through practical work and direct observation, have an insight into island life and lastly but by far the least, contributing enormously to the islands infrastructure. Conservation Holidays are led, by a group leader resident on the island with every task fully explained and demonstrated. Work can be physically demanding, so you will need a reasonable level of fitness.
